Cora rubbed her worn hands and said, "Timothy, listen to me. Return the furniture. These old pieces are still good. We don't need to waste money on new ones!"Timothy was touched. His parents had lived in poverty all their lives, and now that he had money, he couldn't bear to let them suffer even a little bit.He shook his head and said, "Mom, Dad, just trust me. I've got everything arranged. You'll be able to move right in!"Without giving them a chance to argue, he led his parents and Tiana out of the small courtyard. They flagged down a cab, and all four of them got in.The cab driver looked at Cora and Joseph, who were dirty from cleaning their home, and frowned disdainfully. "Where to?"Timothy replied, "Dragoncrest Manor District."The driver blinked in confusion, staring at Timothy. "Are you joking? Where do you want to go?"Timothy repeated, "Dragoncrest Manor District. Do you not understand?"The driver's expression turned odd as he looked over the backseat passengers.
With a smile, Timothy said, "Mom, we haven't come to the wrong place. It's right here."Joseph, unable to hold back, asked with a tremor in his voice, "Timothy, this place must cost tens of thousands per square foot, right? Are you renting or buying?"Timothy chuckled softly. The Dragoncrest Manor District was the most expensive place in Lormford City, with prices reaching over 200,000 per square foot. That figure was beyond his parents' imagination. He shook his head and said, "No, the price here is only a few thousand per square foot.""A few thousand per square foot?" The elderly couple looked at Timothy with suspicion. Tiana, too, puffed out her cheeks, her face full of surprise. "The price here is only a few thousand per square foot? I thought it would be tens of thousands!"Timothy laughed and didn't say more. "Dad, Mom, Tiana, let's go in. I'll show you around."Joseph still had some reservations. "Timothy, are you sure your house is really in here? I don't feel like th
Timothy glanced around and was about to speak when a young saleswoman approached them. Sporting a bun, a cute black hair clip, and high heels, she appeared to be in her early 20s. Smiling, she asked, "Hello, sir. May I have your name?"Timothy raised an eyebrow and looked at her name tag, which read Lilian Lovelace. He returned the polite smile and said, "I'm here to see William Dawson.""Mr. Dawson?" The saleswoman seemed surprised and momentarily puzzled.At that moment, the clacking of high heels approached, followed by an irritated voice. "Lilian, you're supposed to be receiving our clients during work hours."An attractive woman in a tight black skirt appeared. Her face was one of clear disdain and irritation. She glanced at Timothy and his group, quickly covering her nose with her hand and frowning as she said, "Where did these smelly beggars come from? This isn't a place for people like you! Get out!"Seeing Tiana's difficulty walking, the woman's disdain deepened. She to
Timothy waited for a while, growing increasingly impatient as there was still no news. During this time, Lilian brought each of them a glass of water.Timothy had a good impression of Lilian, but after waiting a bit longer with no updates, his patience wore thin. His parents grew restless, repeatedly trying to leave. They were clearly uncomfortable in the upscale environment, especially with the occasional disdainful glances from others.Timothy, losing his patience, noticed Jane in the lobby chatting with other clients, wearing a full, flattering smile. She continued to ignore them, so Timothy called out loudly, "Ms. Ziegler, what did William say?"That interrupted her conversation with her client. Hence, her expression darkened. After a few more words and a few smiles to the client, she approached Timothy looking irritated.Crossing her arms, she said sharply, "Mr. Dawson isn't here. Ms. Wallace is in charge now, and she says you need to leave immediately! If you don't, I'll ha
Inside the office, a woman was lying on the desk, her legs draped over the shoulders of a man standing in front of her. The woman, with her hair tied up and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, had flushed cheeks and was breathing heavily. Her long, black-stocking-clad legs lifted over the man's shoulders as she wriggled her hips seductively. Her ample bosom swayed with each movement as she clung to the man's neck with one hand and braced herself on the desk with the other.She leaned into his ear, whispering breathlessly, "Mr. Kent, we agreed that the contract for that property should be signed this month—"Fred Kent leered, "No problem, sweetheart. You're doing such a great job. I'll make sure it happens even if you didn't ask."He gave her rear a firm slap, eliciting a loud moan from her. She smiled seductively, "Then, Mr. Kent, make sure to introduce any friends of yours who are looking to buy houses to me.""Sure thing, darling! You're so dedicated. It's no wonder you're the top sal
Timothy's eyes were cold and detached as he said, "Call William right now. Got it?"Dani was shaking with fear. Timothy's presence was so intimidating she felt like she was facing a wild beast. Trembling, she dialed William's number and, with a hoarse voice, said, "Mr. Dawson, someone… someone is here to see you."Timothy grabbed the phone, his voice icy, "This is Timothy Yeager. I want to see you in three minutes."The call ended, and the office fell into silence. Timothy glanced at Fred beside him, frowning, "Aren't you leaving? Or would you like me to give you a kick too?"Terrified, Fred hurriedly dressed and fled, leaving Timothy to toss Dani aside. Lighting another cigarette, Timothy took a leisurely drag and said, "Why are women so shameless? You'll never learn until you get a lesson."He slapped Dani across the face, instantly disfiguring her once beautiful features. Outside, Jane was so paralyzed that she nearly pissed herself when she saw that even Dani was beaten up b
William respectfully handed over a gold card. Timothy took it and, flashing a smile at his parents and Tiana, said, "Mom, Dad, Tiana, let's go."The three, still in shock, snapped out of their daze and followed Timothy out of the building.Meanwhile, Jane was dragged into the room. Soon, the sounds of her and Dani's screams filled the room.Downstairs, Timothy saw Lilian. She looked startled and asked, "Mr. Yeager, are you alright?"Timothy shot her a faint smile. "I'm fine. Thank you for today.""It's nothing." Lilian forced a smile, though she felt a bit down. She was worried about whether she'd keep her job after upsetting Jane.Timothy gave her a meaningful smile and said, "Keep up the good work. I believe you can do even better.""Huh?"Before Lilian could respond, Timothy and his group left the sales office and walked into the manor area.Watching Timothy's retreating figure, Lilian felt a bit down. She shook her head, bitterly smiling. It seemed unlikely she'd get a cha
Holding the phone, Timothy wore an icy gaze. "Is the information accurate?"On the other end, Zack responded respectfully, "I've had several people planted there recently. Indeed, Norgon sent people to Lormford City, and their destination was the Reginald family. This happened just last night!"Timothy rubbed his chin, a playful glint in his eyes. He could guess why Norgon was here. He was just surprised that the Reginald family had connections with them. It seemed that, despite how calm all the families in Lormford City seemed, there were deep and murky undercurrents hiding underneath the surface.Zack continued, "I've also learned that the Reginald family issued a kill order in Lormford City's black market last night, offering a substantial sum to recruit underground forces and some local assassins. This move is quite significant. Chief, you—""The Reginald family can't stir up much trouble alone," Timothy interrupted him nonchalantly. "Let them come. I'll take care of whoever
